Repentant thieves return loot to church

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. -- Burglars have struck twice at the Guyandotte United Methodist Church but the second time they may have remembered that commandment, the one that goes, "Thou shalt not steal."

Thieves first jimmied the church's door locks Monday night and stole about $5,000 worth of sound and office equipment, church treasurer Rocky Frazier said. Then, they broke back the next night and returned everything.

"They taketh and the Lord giveth back," Frazier said Friday. "It's like there's a higher power at work."
